Mrs. Heather Higgins is the wife of Pastor Dennis Higgins Jr. and the mother of Jackson, Riley, Hayden, Ireland, & Selah. Heather and Pastor have been called to minister and to reach the lost in the Northeast. They have faithfully served in the Philadelphia area for over 22 years.
Heather enjoys serving the Lord with her family, singing, playing the piano, organizing special music, teaching God’s Word, & being her husband’s secretary. She developed a heart for ministry at a young age, which is evident by the way she expresses Christ’s love and kindness towards everyone she meets. She is always present with a listening ear, a word of encouragement, an offer to help, and Godly counsel. She is also a hard worker, and you’ll often find her behind the scenes in a true example of servant leadership. What beauty she has brought to God’s house through her many talents, and the ladies of Grace feel very blessed to have her as their pastor’s wife. Above all things, Heather wants nothing more than to be a testimony for Christ, to be used of Him, and to live a life that pleases Him.
In June 2022, after much prayer, God led the Higgins family to Grace Independent Baptist Church in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. You can find more information about what God is doing in their ministry at www.churchatgrace.org
